meant to reply earlier,
if you have two logical networks on one physical and are trying to map
drives, you either need to set samba up on the firewall to re-broadcast
the SMB broadcasts and maybe WINS proxy I think, and on the other either
set the WINS server to the firewall samba or add lmhosts to it..

SMB over TCP/IP only broadcasts name stuff to the local IP network,
whereas NetBEUI shouts to anyone on the local phyiscal network..

Regards,
